Imagine the pain

Today I was reading one of my morning immigration forums and I found a discussion about why venezuelans want to leave, and wouldn't stay to fight for our country, for a better tomorrow here, in our homeland.

Some people said that we are allowing the government to ruin the country and our lifes, and then someone wrote something that inspired me to write this post, he wrote: "Quizás la cobardía por haberlo permitido se compense con el sacrificio de haber empujado a un hijo a irse, y soportar la tristeza de su ausencia, y la incertidumbre de su bienestar"
--> "Maybe the cowardice for allowing that, will be compensated with the sacrifice of having pushed a son to go, and living the sorrow of his absence, and the uncertainty about his wellbeing"

That phrase broke my heart, that phrase could only be said by a parent, an immigrant's father or mother. I just pictured my mum and dad the first day we talked seriously about immigrating, they were crying, telling us to go, to leave the country, saying that we didn't have a future here.

At that moment I didn't see it as a sacrifice, but reading that I can only imagine how hard must that been to them and will be to them, you are really pushing away your son, hoping they will have a better life.

I can only imagine with tears in my eyes and my heart in my hands...

Blog Action Day - Global Warming

Today is blog action day, I just heard about this today and I'm glad I did, so I still have time to post about it. Today all bloggers should talk about the environment to create a conscience about it.

For me, I would like to create conscience about global warming, since I know it's real, and I know it's a big problem everyone it's living right now. The seasons are all crazy, we have colder winters or hotter winters, we have rainy seasons in the wrong time and a lot of months without rain at all.

We need to do something about it and everyone can do at least a little bit. I loved Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth, it's real, and it gives a lot of advices to what we can do at home to help de environment today. He even won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for talking about this, and I admire him for that, we needed someone to grab our attention and say "hey! look at this! you can do something about it".

You can contribute too, do something about our world, it's the only one we have.

From my bed

This is what I see from my bed.

That map of Canada has been there for more than a year ^^ Once we decided that we wanted to go to Canada, live there and eventually get the canadian nationality, I bought that map.

You have to see what you want, concentrate on that, work for that, live for that. We see that map at nigh when we are going to bed, and we see that map when we wake up in the morning, and every moment in between when we are in the bedroom xD

When we read my lawyer email telling us that we could go to the embassy to get our visas, I just sat on my husband's legs, both watching our map, watching our future and crying from happiness :)

I love my bedroom and I'm ready to leave it, but one thing is sure, that map is leaving with me... We are going home.
